Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Tim Allen's lead quite a unique career. He makes a shitload of god-awful mainstream non-threatening family comedies, but he's also associated with some truly great roles... with the TOY STORY series and GALAXY QUEST. I also have really fond memories of HOME IMPROVEMENT from my childhood.

It's odd that he is associated with so much crap, but also with some definite quality. I mean, he did bring a lot to both the TOY STORY films and GALAXY QUEST, he didn't just fall into them. And then he can represent so much crap! Maybe it's just me... maybe he just represents crap to most people and I'm still holding on to the few things he's done that I hold dear.

Anyway, this bit of news is about Tim Allen. He's going to direct his first feature called CRAZY ON THE OUTSIDE. What's interesting is that it's supposedly a very adult comedy and he's got a great cast lined up. Carrie-Anne Moss, Ray Liotta, Julie Bowen and Kelsey Grammer. It's about an ex-con that finds life outside of the clink is crazier than life inside.

Outside of this, he's also got voice-work in TOY STORY 3 and a role in David Mamet's REDBELT. Could be a good time in store for us that still hold out hope that Allen won't just keep pumping out Santa Clause sequels...
